This Gawker article is so funny that I can't remember the last time I read anything this funny. It's a 24 year old journalist's ascerbic and wisely-observed account of a just-completed week on a celebrity cruise with Paula Deen and about 140 friends, family and fans of the fallen 'culinary goddess'. It's novella length but, believe me, your time will be greatly rewarded.

Thank god someone else read it. My DH said he can't remember the last time he heard me laugh like that, or if ever. Especially when I got to the picture of her bent over--it was such a great build-up, that I really lost it there. Wish I could write like that!

My wine shopping and I have never had a problem. Just a perpetual race between the bankruptcy court and Hell.--Rogov
